Both soccer clubs are in need to new parent volunteers to help organize these wonder activities.  If you are willing to meet once monthly to discuss and give ideas how to make community soccer more fun for kids then we would love your help. Please contact your coach or any club representative to learn the time and location of the next monthly meeting.

A lost and found bin has been started at Rhody field and that bin will be sitting on the beaches as you come onto the field near the concession stand on Tues, Thurs, and Saturdays during scheduled games. There are already at least 15 articles of clothing in them!

Wonderfully successful first spring league.  Already discussing improvements and planning for next year!

Congratulations!  Central Whidbey Soccer Club has been accepted into the Whidbey Island Youth Soccer Association.  Approval from WSYSA is anticipated shortly.  Thus we now officially have three soccer clubs on Whidbey Island conveniently named North, Central, and South.  We hope this is another completed step in the direction toward better cooperation between island soccer communities.  Thank you to all that have worked hard to make this a reality!

Soccer activities for this fall are still being discussed.  SWYSC is currently forming traveling recreational teams to play in North County.  CWSC and NWSC are considering combining their recreational programs to keep fall soccer here on the island.  Expect to get clarification before school breaks for summer vacation.

CWSC organizers apologize to Ft.Casey visitors on Wednesday evening by the mysterious disappearance of the porti-potti's.  The problem has been corrected.  What a relief!

Soccerfest is a go for Sat, June 9.  Volunteers are needed for many activities to run this first annual tournament.  Plan on arriving between 8:30 and 10am and everything will be complete and over by 2pm.  Expect to be entertained by activities in every direction.  The field will be full.  Volunteers are needed between 2 and 2:30 for clean up also.  To volunteer and hour or two from Coupeville email Jim Copenhaver at jcopenhaver@pioneernet.net or Chris Potts marinersfan68@cablespeed.com and on the south end email Terry Swanson whidgeo1@whidbey.com  .

All league teams are automatically enrolled in the tournament and all are guaranteed two games.  There is no cost for this tournament as it is our own.  Participation in soccer skills contests are available to all ages including adults.  Expect nominal fees for these and food items.  If any money is generated above expenses it will be used to support youth soccer scholarships in both communities.  Soccerfest 2007 T-shirts will be available in very limited qualities so if you want one best to place an order right now by contacting Terry Swanson.

Advertising for this activity to begin this week.  Watch for more details.

Plans are underway for an end of season tournament on Sat, June 9th, to be held at the SWSC.  Code name 'soccerfest'.  Will be a fun filled morning of soccer chaos with games starting at 9am and Championship games completed by 1 pm.  Many fun and entertaining soccer activities are being planned in addition to the games.  This will be the type of activity where kids are going to want to be there all morning.  Food and beverages will be on site. Expect to hear much more about soccerfest over the next 1-2 weeks. This is the day your kids will not want to miss so try to keep it clear.  Many volunteers are needed so if this sounds interesting make your interests known.

On both fields we have been doing a great job of picking up litter.  Keep up the good work all.

Coaches- expect to have a photo of your team taken for the website this week if it has not been done already.  No names will be attached.  Scores and standings for U-12 and U-14 are being kept. If you see errors click the webmaster button below.  The scores are not official and in some cases they are questimations.  Remember we are going for balance in this league not domination.  Use this information to achieve balance.

U-16 thru U-19 Select tryouts Sat May 12 and Sun May 20 from 11-1 at Ft. Nugent fields in Oak Harbor.  Please spread the word.  Sounds like a great opportunity for the High School age players.

Several issues to pass on.  Girls U-14 will be playing 7v7.  If each team has 8 players then the coaches can agree to play 8v8.

In general, coaches are being encouraged to maximize playing time and minimize sitting on the bench time for all players. To most effectively accomplish this, final decisions regarding the # of players on the field for each game will be agreed upon by both coaches just before kickoff once the number of available players is known.

Having your kids arrive to all games at least 30min before kick-off will be of great assistance to your coaches.  If your child can not make it to a game be sure to notify your coach as soon as that information is available.  Enjoy the games!
